I know this thread is a bit old but I thought it might be good to add some information for others searching about this problem.

I have a squeak (some say rattle) in both doors and the rear hatch. I have a cabrio which I think might have the issue more because of the additional body movement. The problem is caused by the movement of the doors and hatch against the rubber seals. It can be quickly and easily corrected by lubing the seals. I've only used a dry lubricant (graphite) so far and it only lasts a short time. I'll be trying other lubricants but I'm not really sure which way to go. I'm a bit reluctant to try a grease since it will tend to gather dust. Anyone have this problem and find a good solution?

YES, MINE STARTED THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT HOME, HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED AND REALLY DIDNT GET AN ANSWER. MINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BEHIND THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND GETS REALLY LOUD AT TIMES. IF YOU GET AN ANSWER TO SOLVING THIS PLEASE POST IT! THANKS

If your rattle/squeak is the same as mine then it's easy to locate. Stand outside the car with the door closed and push down hard on the top edge of the door near the handle. On mine I get the squeak doing that and I can put my ear down to where it's coming from. It is quite clearly the seal and putting graphite on it immediately eliminates the noise. It comes back in a few days though.

DEREK,
SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS BUT I AM TO LAZY TO CHANGE LETTER SIZES AND IT LOOKS BETTER THAN ALL SMALL LETTERS.
THE NOISE WE ARE HEARING IS A DEFINITE RATTLE AND NOT A SQUEAK. I TRIED THE GRAPHITE AND IT MADE NO CHANGE.
THE RATTLE IS IN THE DRIVERS DOOR INSIDE OF THE OUTER HANDLE.
THANKS,
JOE

I wonder why it shows me cursing in my prior post? ("Stand outside the car with the door closed and push down +!@#$ the top edge of the door near the handle.") I didn't mean to cuss! It's supposed to be "on".

Anyway, I guess I can't help with your rattle. It must be something loose in the handle/door lock assembly.
